“They treated me like family. If I could I would give them 100 Stars!”

“Owning a home is a keystone of wealth… both financial affluence and emotional security”

ANGEL VELEZ – FOUNDER/OWNER TAKE CONTROL, LLC

  • I refer to him as “El Maestro”!

    Saul Gonzalez
    I immigrated from El Salvador and never thought I would be a homeowner in the USA. But thanks to Angel, my dream came through.

  • "We knew he was the right person"

    Angelica & Daniel Pastran
    After attending Angel’s Home Buyer’s class, we knew he was the right person to assist us in our Selling and Buying process. We were definitely not disappointed. He guided us through both processes and through without a glitch.

  • "He expertly helped us achieve our investment goals"

    Lofi & Sharfeldin Ali
    My father and I wanted to build a portfolio of rental properties. We came across one of Angel’s listings and contacted him. The rest is history - he expertly helped us achieve our investment goals in Central VA on several properties - analyzing each home for valuation and guiding us through the negotiation process.

  • "He took care of every detail"

    Carmen Rohena Pastrana
    Angel and Wanda are like family - that’s why I chose him to sell my home a few years after I relocated to TX. The process was seamless - he took care of every detail. All I had to do was collect my money at closing.
